I think that the last time I looked at how much had been spent on windmill subsidy it was the cost of three Sizewell Bs. I've some objections to Windmills mostly to do with ruining beautiful countryside and causing a hazard to navigation. However I really have a problem with the subsidies. Either the technology works and provides electricity at a viable price or it is a waste of bloody time. I object to paying 50p/kWH just so some mung bean muncher can feel in touch with Mother Earth.
